The butterfly effect

We don't talk about butterflies much on ThinkGeek. Butterfly KNIVES, yes, but actual butterflies? Not so much.

So we've done our best to identify the butterflies in these jewelry pieces, but we're not lepidopterists by any stretch of the imagination, so actual lepidopterists and lovers of bewinged-creatures, please weigh in and correct where we got stuff wrong. thx!

Change your future with these necklaces and earrings, which contain actual butterflies. Farm-raised to ensure quality and color, your butterflies will differ slightly from the ones shown on the page. Choose Blue & Yellow, which we think is Erasmia Pulchera Chinensis or Purple (something in the Lycaenidae family). Both come preserved in lucite acrylic resin as either necklace pendants or earrings. The Purples are petite, averaging about 1 1/2" wide and 1" tall, so the earrings are the full butterfly. The Blue & Yellow is huge, averaging 3" wide x 1 1/2" tall, so the earrings are just its wings.

For our customers with nickel allergies: we don't know what metal these are made from.
